MC-1 Magnetotactic bacteria are being harnessed as medical nanorobots to deliver therapeutic agents to tumors. To do so, sequences of magnetic fields are being generated by a special platform to enable these bacteria to aggregate within the tumor. Although such aggregations within a 3D volume have been achieved by our group in the past, here we show an improved version enabling faster swarming within...
A MEMS structure based on standard CMOS process is presented. It consists in the fabrication of micro-reservoirs in which will be embedded magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) to form a propulsion system for a 550 mum x 650 mum fully autonomous micro- robot to be operated in an aqueous medium. Due to magnetotaxis inherent in each bacterium, the motility of the MTB can be exploited. Furthermore, a directional...
